Just two key things to note. The hotel charges per person so if you bring children, please note an additional cost per night per person not written anywhere on your booking itinerary or confirmation. Second, the internet was terrible. If you're lucky, you may catch the hotel router when it appears as an available wifi even on the first floor, but if you hit the jackpot and see the router and connect, it is excruciatingly slow. I thought that maybe it was my phone, but tried it at different times of the day and night with all phones in the family to no avail. Posting anything on the internet was nearly impossible, let alone making a phone call. They claimed this is how it is on the islands but we did not have this issue at other hotels, even on more remote islands. As a result, we had no choice but to pay the per night charge for our children as we were unable to cancel without cost, and we were unable to get a reliable connection to have a meaningful call with Expedia throughout our entire stay. As long as you are aware of this and okay with it, the room we booked had three beds, was spacious, and clean.

The property was fairly nice, rooms were plain, tv was very small and old. The worst part was the management. I had reserved a room for 4 but for some reason Expedia only told them 2 adults but did not list the kids. Even though the correct number of beds were listed, the management said we had to pay over $500 more. We had already paid Expedia $621. We checked out after 3 nights because because the $ we paid Expedia should have covered that. They said we still owed them over $300 for those nights. Even their own website showed that it would be much cheaper than that and we should not owe them anything!! We argued and wasted several hours of our vacation. They refused to listen and finally said if we didn’t pay the extra money they would call the police. We ended up paying almost $950 for 3 nights. We are very angry and will never stay there again.

The service was good after we got things figured out at check I which too two hours. The amenities are bare minimum but it is clean and I felt safe. The breakfast is the same everyday so you may want to venture out.

Plumbing on sink leAked, water throughout the room; and air conditioner was blowing out dust or dirt, and clanging, moved us to a lesser room that smelled like an outhouse and said it was the humidity, finally moved us to another room that sufficed. I recognize these things happen, but to try and gaslight the smell was not acceptable.

Good location but needs improvement
When we arrived at Hotel Red Booby, the room we had reserved (1 double bed and 2 twins) was not available. (even with written confirmation and I had pre-paid a month prior). We were put into a room with 3 twins half an hour later with no compensation. (none was given after contacting the hotel administration either). The breakfast staff person was rude and unfriendly. The décor is sorely out of date and in desperate need of an update. Wifi was a joke. Positives: location, rooftop pool, front desk staff was great.

The Boobies are Running This Place
Although not warned by Expedia when I booked this hotel - they do not take credit cards - cash or pay pal only! Noisy, no head boards on bed so your ONE pillow will fall through behind bed. TV has interference and is maybe a 16 inch screen, no shades on the lights, etc etc,,,,,,, Only positive is; AC works and location but would not recommend to anyone, breakfast is also terrible.

Nice , affordable and close to everything.
We found the Hotel Red Booby clean and comfortable. It was close to everything In town. Staff was helpful and available when needed. A good thing to know - they do not take credit. A good choice for this price point.

Very close to the main street, lots of bars and restaurants nearby, Inkos was a very good one. Went snorkeling twice in January on the equator, water was not warm, so we used wetsuits. The hotel was a place to sleep, as they should be when on vacation

Convienient and has nice pool
This was a comfortable hotel in a good location. The staff were excellent and friendly. The pool was great. The room itself was sparse and the shower was uncomfortable - no place to put soap or shampoo. My room was surrounded by windows and looked out onto other room's windows. I found the price to be high for the quality of the accommodation; however, I was meeting a tour group at the hotel the day after I arrived, so it was convenient. I would consider a less expensive property if I returned, not because of the hotel, but because of the value for money.
